LEH: The Indian Army’s Fire and Fury Corps has inaugurated a modern library at Tangtse in Ladakh’s Changthang region under Operation Sadbhavana, providing students and local youth in the remote border area with access to educational resources and reading facilities.
Equipped with around 1,500 books and modern amenities, the library has been established to strengthen educational opportunities in one of Ladakh’s high-altitude regions, where harsh winters and difficult terrain often disrupt access to learning resources.
According to the Army, the initiative seeks to provide students with a dedicated learning space while encouraging reading habits and academic engagement throughout the year, particularly during periods when heavy snowfall limits mobility.
The project forms part of Operation Sadbhavana, through which the Indian Army undertakes community development initiatives in remote border areas, with a focus on education, youth development and public welfare.The Army said the initiative reflects its continued engagement with border communities by supporting educational infrastructure and creating opportunities for young people in geographically isolated regions.
